    Tip at this place: pay attention to "violent noises", described by an old, Low German report as "violent whizzing like a whirlwind and strong hail weather underground" 😳😨 😉 ...

    "Earthquakes are the results of millions of years of geological construction and reconstruction. The Icker Loch was created on April 22, 1782 in the middle of the country road from Osnabrück to Hunteburg. After" violent noises ", a 15 m diameter hole formed immediately below groundwater After two months it had a diameter of 34 m and was already 40 m deep. "

    Today the Icker Loch is a bit smaller and only about 2m deep. Police divers had the dubious pleasure of fumbling around in 2012.
